Off topic. 944, Best year? Options

[RolinkHaus]

Thinking of buying a 944. Any advice is appreciated. What is the best year? Obviously, looking at turbo models. I know this vehicle has a crazy timing belt schedule.

1989 is "the year" in my opinion. My son bought one and I drive it most of the time. Super fast and solid. The interior is the big difference from earlier models, especially the dash look. I have fixed all of the afore mentioned issues and it is not overly expensive if you find an honest mechanic who knows the cars well. I am very lucky to have found my mechanic who loves these cars, has 2-3 of his own, and knows some if not all of the tricks of the trade. Pulley assemblies and such can cost north of $500 but you only need one of the pulleys and not the assembly. He knows these tricks and saves you money. Very rare I know. I was about to junk my Audi 5000 CS Turbo Quattro until I found the right guy. He fixed everything in the car broken...A/C, door locks, five other things and charged me $35. Everything was disconnected and other stupid stuff. He ended up getting a business manager because he was so busy and the whole deal went to hell. Find the good mechanic and 944 Turbo is a dream car. Cost around $50,000 new. Get one!!
